View Article Link

  • Great Plugin. Really helped the looks of the site.

    We are using the beta and having an issue with the link in a tile when %excerpt% is added into the byline. The “View Article” text links back the page as opposed to the post. The rest of the tile links to the post just fine the only issue is the “View Article” text. What can be done about this?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi @lincolnsq,

    Are you using a plugin to generate the View Article link? (Like Advanced Excerpt, etc.)

    When WP Tiles generates the byline, the loop is not set up, so a plugin generating a ‘Read More’ link will not have the correct post ID. Let me see if changing that is an option.

    Alternatively, you can add your own ‘View Article’ link on the title, by adding something like:
    <a href='%link%'>View Article</a>

    Thanks for your reply.

    I believe the only plugin I am using that would create the link is WP Tiles itself. The “View Article” link seems to automatically generate when I include %excerpt% in the byline. Is there anyway way I can remove or hide the automatically generating “View Article”?

    Creating my own link did work.

    Thanks for your response.

    Hi again @lincolnsq,

    It wasn’t me, I swear ?? WP Tiles does not generate the ‘View Article’ link, it may be coming from your theme. Check out the documentation on how to create the ‘View Article’ link:

    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Customizing_the_Read_More#Displaying_a_.22more.E2.80.A6.22_link_when_using_the_the_excerpt.28.29

    The trick is to figure out where the ‘View Article’ is coming from to be able to disable it.

    Good luck!

    Mike
